Author of RED, CROOKED LITTLE VEIN and forthcoming GUN MACHINE, Warren Ellis’s SPIRIT TRACKS, about the future of the city, the ghosts that haunt it and the science-fiction condition we live in, to Sean McDonald at Farrar, Straus, by Lydia Wills at Lydia Wills (world English).

So… this is happening. I am writing a serious non-fiction book for a serious non-fiction list. Which is kind of strange, isn’t it? As I said a few weeks ago, the career’s gone in an odd direction again over the last few years. Sometimes I wonder if people will look back over my CV and ask themselves what the hell I thought I was doing.

I start this book next year, after I finish the current novel. It may or may not have the same title when it’s announced as going on the publication schedule. Really looking forward to working with Sean McDonald, who’s edited some of my favourite non-fiction over the last several years, including Steven Johnson’s magnificent GHOST MAP.
